Create the Telegram Bot

Create the bot in Telegram

• Open Telegram and start a chat with BotFather.

• Type /start to begin, then follow these steps:

• Type /newbot to create a new bot.

• Provide a name for your bot, e.g., "AI Doge."

• Provide a unique username for your bot, e.g., "awe_ai_doge_bot."

• BotFather will generate a token (not a cryptocurrency token). Copy this token, which looks like 2874385:HDH-2sue_Cweu.

• Set the Botpic in bot settings.

Enable Group Sharing (Optional)

If you want to add the bot to the group chats, and let the bot interact with the group members, you must enable the group sharing of the bot in Telegram.

In a DM with the BotFather, navigate to: Menu > Edit > Your Bot > Bot Settings.

Turn Group Privacy to Off.

You need to kick off the bot from the group, and add it back again for the existing groups after turning off the group privacy setting to make the bot working properly.

Configure your Memegent

• Paste the unique username (e.g. awe_ai_doge_bot) of your bot into the designated field on the Awe! platform.

• Paste the BotFather token (e.g. 2874385:HDH-2sue_Cweu) into the designated field on the Awe! platform.

• Write a welcome message: This will appear as the first message when players interact with your Memegent and on the leaderboard. Be clear and engaging, describing how players can interact with the bot.
